Speaking of NASCAR, there’s an oldies radio station in Minneapolis, that on Sunday afternoons … I shit you not … broadcasts NASCAR races.

Clearly it’s a sign of the Apocalypse.

It' not KOOL 108 is it? Please no. My parents always listened to that station when I was growing up. If they are now playing NASCAR, a piece of my childhood has died. Written on 30/7/07

It is indeed KOOL 108.

And to think I was under the impression we were all urbane and sophisticated.

I'm surprised there is a market for that in The Cities, although, the only stock car race I have been to (I was 5) was at the Minnesota State Fair.

I'll be in Minneapolis in a few weeks, I'll have to remember not to flip to KOOL 108 on a Sunday. Written on 31/7/07

Wow..I don't even have anything to say for that one.

What beats WATCHING cars drive around in a circle...LISTENING to them drive in a circle!!

Oh Yeah (In Kool Aid Man voice) Oh Yeah!!

It's either really good that people have such great visualization skills to listen to NASCAR on the radio and maintain a semi-conscious level of interest, or really scary for the fact that most of these people are breeders... Written on 30/7/07

Ask Hamilton how sissified crashing at 150mph was.

F1 is a fantastic sport to watch and follow.

Blitzhund, I couldn't agree more. Rugby is a tough, tough sport. American football is for pansies. "Oooo, I better put on some padding, lest I get hurt when someone tackles me. Mommy, may I have some warm milk and cookies before bed?". Written on 31/7/07

I can only assume that the two of you have never played American football. We play rugby in the states as kids, it's called smear the queer! When we want to get serious we put on the pads. I doubt you have many 270 + lb rugby players that are as agile and fast as say a Jevon Kearse. Try playing our sport first gents! Written on 13/8/07

Bodero

Having skimmed your article (and fortunate I didn't waste more than 2 minutes of my life), I couldn't help but stumble upon your ignorant tirade of our Vice Commander in Chief.

In what you probably cackle to yourself as a witty comment, you first claim that our President, George W. Bush, is "retarded." Of course, your own candidate in 2004 earned a lower GPA at Yale than our President. His famous quote on the matter was "I always told my dad that D stood for distinction."

Of course, I wouldn't expect a libtard to recognize this. Then you post this moronic line:
Only in America [...] can you shoot someone in the face and then claim self defense.
First of all, when did he ever claim "self defense?" He didn't, because it wasn't - he wasn't shooting to defend himself. It was an accident, and Lord knows liberals don't have accidents. Or at least when they do, they abort them. Of course, Cheney himself was a victim of a shooting accident in the 1990s. WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE THERE?

Only in America can you [...] tell someone you are debating with in an open forum to "Go Fuck Yourself"

It's too bad that that slimeball Patrick Leahy didn't take that advice. I'm sure a libtard has never said that word.

and know that no matter what, you have the media at your fingertips (who will spin the story into obscurity).

This is utterly ridiculous on so many levels. The drive-by media will do nothing but spin for the democrats. Remember something as innocuous as 'macaca?' Hell, they even eat their own as was the case with Imus.

I just happened to be online admiring my beautiful linguistics, when I noticed what can only be described as a very perturbed reader.

First off, I am glad that you quoted me properly. Otherwise I would sue you.
Secondly, it is prejudiced to assume that I am, as you put it, a libtard. I really like that one and more than likely will start trying to incorporate it in to my day to day conversations.
SInce we all know what assuming does, Mr. Ass...excuse me Bodero, what part of my commentary would lead you to believe that I was a libtard?

Since like you I cannot waste too much of my life on such a drivl creature (you have got to respect the wordplay my good man!), I will focus on the two lines that seemed to penetrate your mind deeper than I go in every pussy that is placed before me.

I love watching the news and seeing suspects, as you probably label many people you see walking down the street, who "accidentally" shot someone and they still are facing some sort of charges.
Now I think because nobody died that you feel it is all fine and dandy. But this isn't basketball Mr. Ass. No blood no foul doesn't apply when you get shot in the face, and then have a heart attack.
Maybe the next time you get shot in the face while hunting quail, and while you are rolling around on the ground in pain, beginning to feel that numbness running up the left side of your body, you will remember to tell the police that is was only an accident. Mr Ass after he gets shot."No officer I didn't know the guy who shot me. But he said it was an accident, so we are all cool now." GTFOH (And by the way you didn't use my self defense spiel in its actual context. I like the fact that I can shoot someone in the face and claim self-defense. That is great and only in America! I don't like the fact that some people...Dick...can do it and claim accident. Wag of the finger)

Yeah too bad some slimeballs don't listen.
So you can go fuck yourself.

Finally I think you should spend some time overseas and see how the media works over there. Sensationalism always sells, but only in American is it like...well like it is in America.

I can care less who controls it...ok maybe not that far...but I just want it to be the news. Straight news. I don't want it to lean to the left. I don't want it to lean to the right. If I wanted to lean from side to side I would ride a teeter totter.

All that being said man, you seem like you have some unresolved childhood issues. And since you wanted to take it there (Oh no he didn't!), like a LOT of your fellow conservative NAMBLA members, I can forgive your smart mouth because you probably just came home from a fund raising party full of the tallest highest mauntains of cocaine this side of the Mason Dixie with all the hookers a man could ever want in more colors than Baskins and Robbins has flavors. Next time though, I am pulling a Jay and Silent Bob and showing up on your front door.

Can't you see by my avatar that I am homeless...I got nothing but time sucka...

Well it is rather easy for some of you to criticize Bodero, I'm going to have to pretty much agree with him here.

Now I think because nobody died that you feel it is all fine and dandy. But this isn't basketball Mr. Ass. No blood no foul doesn't apply when you get shot in the face, and then have a heart attack.

Your knowledge of hunting laws is clearly lacking, sir. I will give you what the liberal Washington Post has to say about hunting accidents: The law governing hunting accidents has long been controversial. This is the one area where citizens routinely shoot and kill other citizens without civil or criminal penalty -- or even the loss of a hunting license. Indeed, most cases of accidental shootings are viewed as reasonable mistakes by hunters and often it is the victim who is blamed for failing to give a hunter a wide berth. See http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/17/AR2006021702481.html for further details. The bottom line is that Cheney made some safety errors in the hunting accident, but him not being prosecuted for a crime is hardly out of the ordinary.

I get rather tired of the Cheney/Bush bashing. This article is a typical example of the ridiculous nature of the Anti-Republicans crowd. Not one argument against Cheney deals with actual substantive policy choices. Maybe (just maybe!) this is because your vice president really has few powers and there really is nothing to actually criticize him for. The man uses the dreaded F word and has a hunting accident. Oh noes!!

All I am asking is for some time before history judges the Bush/Cheney years. Lest we forget some of the more popular presidents of their time were Coolidge (a man that could have done more to stop the Depression), Harding (scandals galore), Ike (great war hero, but a pretty middle of the pack president), and JFK (killed before really doing anything). It works the other way as well. We've had great presidents that were not well liked. See Truman. HW Bush may join him one day. You will need 20-30 years before really fairly being able to judge the current president. On to more education:

GTFOH (And by the way you didn't use my self defense spiel in its actual context. I like the fact that I can shoot someone in the face and claim self-defense. That is great and only in America! I don't like the fact that some people...Dick...can do it and claim accident. Wag of the finger)

Your knowledge of the law is not very sound, young man. The American criminal justice system is largely based upon British common law. Like the British, we use an adversarial criminal justice system (as opposed to the inquisitorial criminal justice system the rest of Europe uses). The idea of self defense is, thus, not an American creation. I will give you the fact that Great Britain completely abolished armed self-defense about 10 years ago, but the effects have actually been disastrous. To quote: "According to a recent U.N. study, writes Historian Joyce L. Malcolm, author of "Guns and Violence: The English Experience," "England and Wales have the highest crime rate and worst record for 'very serious' offences of the 18 industrial countries surveyed." While violent crime in America has been plummeting for 10 consecutive years, British violence has been rising. Since Blair's 1997 total ban on armed self-defense, things have gone from bad to worse. "You are now six times more likely to be mugged in London than New York," avers Malcolm. "Why? Because as common law appreciated, not only does an armed individual have the ability to protect himself or herself but criminals are less likely to attack them ... A study found American burglars fear armed homeowners more than the police." The most dangerous burglaries – the kind that occur when people are at home – are much rarer in the U.S. ... only 13 percent, in contrast to 53 percent in England." http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=33945

Furthermore, your insinuation that all I have to do is shoot and kill someone in the face and claim self-defense to get off is laughable at best. Self-defense is an affirmative defense. This means the burden of proof is not on the state, but on the defendant. Certain elements must be present. Your actions must roughly proportionate to the given threat, your actions must be done out of necessity, you must be the non-aggressor, and you must believe there is imminent danger present. If you find a defendant that gets off by proving the above factors when he just shoots someone in the face, please let me know.

Finally I think you should spend some time overseas and see how the media works over there. Sensationalism always sells, but only in American is it like...well like it is in America.

Current headlines from UK's The Sun: Princess Bea and Fella Get Steamy by Sea, Latest Big Bro News: Booby Trap - Lapdance, Spanking - Jonty on Lash. Yes, sensationalism only sells in America. Afraid I'm not buying it, pal. David Beckham marries a Spicegirl and instantly becomes the nation's top storyline. I can't speak for you, but I've noticed some liberals love to claim how superior Europe is to America. Seems like wishful thinking to me. Sensationalism sells anywhere. You just decided to needlessly and unfairly dump on America.

And since you wanted to take it there (Oh no he didn't!), like a LOT of your fellow conservative NAMBLA members...

Funny considering the leftist ACLU defends NAMBLA. I'm not sure how you confused NAMBLA with being conservative.


All that being said man, you seem like you have some unresolved childhood issues...Next time though, I am pulling a Jay and Silent Bob and showing up on your front door.

Considering you just threatened to show up at Bodero's door and beat him up for disagreeing with you, I'd have to say you are the one with some issues. Written on 30/7/07

My Comment:

blitzhund

You've fucking quoted The Sun as some sort of selection of relevent headlines in the United Kingdom? The Sun????? Are you completely utterly fucking common? Oi! Oi! Savaloy!

Whilst overall crime is rising in the UK, our gun deaths are a mere fraction of the USA's. For similar stats I suggest you look at South Africa or Iraq.

The gun control laws in the UK were already incredibly tight here before the Handgun (not self-defense by gun as you claim) Ban was put in action.

Yes, handgun crime has risen somewhat since then. But there is comfort in knowing that in the UK only the military and the police by and large have firearms. Not your common muppet on the streets carrying a gun and thinking he's a 'have a go' hero and turning Edinburgh or London into the Ok Corral. We'll leave the Cowboying to you Yanks.

I want to quote something from The Home Office. Not The Sun, but actual stats compiled by THE POLICE who know.

"Violent crime has fallen by around 43% since its peak in 1995 and has remained relatively stable between 2004/05 and 2005/06."

So violent crime is indeed falling the UK.

Read this if you want actual facts: http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs06/hosb0206.pdf

Oh yes, right winger. We in the UK aren't your buddies, we aren't your friends. Even our most right wing conservatives (I'm a UK Conservative) here believe in Socialised Medicine, Gun Control, Public Transport and Social Welfare.

So take your comparisons and your copy of The Sun and quietly piss off.

Oh, really? Well how did this 14 year old boy get shot?

SInce we all know what assuming does, Mr. Ass...excuse me Bodero, what part of my commentary would lead you to believe that I was a libtard?
The fact that you equated the President to a "retarded child."

you will remember to tell the police that is was only an accident. Mr Ass after he gets shot."No officer I didn't know the guy who shot me. But he said it was an accident, so we are all cool now."
Vice President Cheney did know the person, he was his friend. And it cuts both ways. There are accidents where charges are pressed, and accidents where charges are not. You have no knowledge or even interest in the acutal event, you just want charges pressed because you don't agree with the man's politics.

So you can go fuck yourself.
Oh yes, you have very eloquent "linguistics," as you would say.

I can care less who controls it...ok maybe not that far...but I just want it to be the news. Straight news. I don't want it to lean to the left. I don't want it to lean to the right.
That's the nature of humans reporting on the news. It's nearly impossible for a political human being to refrain from inserting his or her politics in the news that he or she reports. The problem is that the mainstream media is stocked with libs on a 9-1 basis.

And since you wanted to take it there (Oh no he didn't!), like a LOT of your fellow conservative NAMBLA members, I can forgive your smart mouth because you probably just came home from a fund raising party full of the tallest highest mauntains of cocaine this side of the Mason Dixie with all the hookers a man could ever want in more colors than Baskins and Robbins has flavors.

I'm from Canada. Forgive me.

Is there really such a divide between an average republican and an average Democrat (liberal)? When you all sit down for Thanksgiving, do the republicans stand out from the democrats? Can you tell from a distance who's who? Do they come with special markings? Tattoos?

I don't really get it. I haven't the foggiest idea what my neighbour (notice the spelling) voted last election, provincially or federally. Our street is fairly representative: There are people that own businesses (like myself), there are people that are part of the union, there are people that don't do anything.

Am I a LIBERAL? I don't really know. I donate money to animal welfare organizations, Doctors Without Borders, crazy-ass cure-for-cancer groups ... oh, and yes I have supported Greenpeace in the past. I guess that makes me a solid, left-of-center liberal. If 'central' is normal, I'm apparently not normal.

Do republicans really only think about guns, money, stocks and religion? Seems to me, if you're really into all that, you're fairly insecure. You don't trust other people, you need money to build bigger walls around you, and you need religion to both absolve you and protect you.

Yeah, there are a few people like the aforementioned in Canada - but there are wing nuts in every crowd! :)

It's amazing how different we are considering we watch the same TV and movies, shop at the same stores, speak the same language, eat the same food, etc.
